    I went to look at some Outback Homes last weekend with Stef... The girl in the model looked at me funny when I told her that garage space and a flat driveway were important to me before I said anything about the inside...

    That is why I only looked at 2 houses before buying. They were the only two in the area I could find with the right driveway and garage.
    Boats and hoes

    Stumble in to the liquor store
    With a dollar-fifty for a bottle of wine,
    I know just what I'm lookin for
    Thunderbird will do just fine.

    Well i went out and took some pics and measured the lot, it is 130' by 48' so you were pretty close on your guess. the reason it is long and not wide is because they dont have any lots out there that are that wide. i dont know if you know but realestate out here in sa has gone through the roof. as of right now it has not been annexed to sa so taxes are cheaper. i heard that across the road all the million$+ house owners are fighting annexation so if they win i could save 1% property tax

    here is a link to some picsTate House

    Plugs in the garage weren't even an option in the house I live in. But my landlord asked the electrician to put one in for the deep freezer so we've got one. Get something better than sheetrock in the garage if you can. Wood sideing like for the outside of a house is good. I suppose you aren't worried about parking in the garage so the size should be fine.

    Who does that anyway? (on a house that they own)

    Congrats Tate, that's awesome! I've been playing with Visio for the barn apartment build also.

    it will be drywall in the garage... no other options on that matter, i might put plywood up over it or replace it but not right away, it isnt very high on my priority list. one problem with these homes is that they wont do certain things to keep prices down. all it really means is that i have to fix it after i move in.

    I'm sure you have to have the drywall in the garage to get the fire rating between the house and the garage since the garage is connected to the rest of the house.

    edit: Oh I just read what kopecki said, i dont think plywood is gonna give a high enough rating, if any.
